With the comeback cued late in the first period, the Oilers Rookies set out to complete it in the second. And they did.
Hebig cut the deficit to one at 11:58 of the stanza, firing a wrist shot far corner from the right dot.
Then, it was Polei's turn to say hello to his fans the best way he could. The physical winger popped in a rebound off a Samorukov shot with under six minutes to play in the frame, bringing the crowd to their feet amid raucous applause.
"All these fans out here supported me for four years and it was so much fun playing in front of them again," said Polei. "It feels really good to get a goal in front of them."
With a new playing field set up for the third, the Flames Rookies were able to add three in succession to put the game to bed.
Ruzicka split Skinner with a sneaky 5-hole slip then Glenn Gawdin and Brett Pollock lit the lamp on consecutive power plays.
"I thought we had the bulk of the play in the second period then ran out of gas and made a couple individual errors in the third," said Woodcroft.
With Oilers Rookie Camp finished, the bench boss evaluated his players as they look towards Oilers Main Camp.
"The one thing we wanted them to do was approach Rookie Camp with the mindset to get better every day," said Woodcroft. "It wasn't easy. Testing was very difficult, we had two intense practices, we played three games in four days and travelled to two different cities to do that.
"A lot of them should feel good about heading into Main Camp."
Oilers Main Camp gets under way Thursday at Rogers Place. Stay tuned to EdmontonOilers.com for complete coverage.
